Character error
A policeman offers Lee Chandler's a ride home. This is pretty insensitive since his house just burned to the ground.
Continuity
After the woman at the bar in Boston spills her beer on Lee, it cuts to her picking up the glass and it is full again.
On the way into band practice, Patrick is carrying a rectangular guitar case with metal trim. On the way out he has a guitar shaped case, more representative of Epiphone Les Paul he plays in the band.

At the end of the boat scene where Lee, Patrick and Patrick's girlfriend are on the stern, as it pulls away from the camera there is a coil of rope at Lee's feet which alternates from being coiled to uncoiled between shots.
When Lee asked to see his brother Joe's body, he's taken down to the hospital morgue. The drawn holding Joe is opened and the white body bag he's in is unzipped, and only his head is uncovered and visible.
Then the camera angle changes and Lee is still just looking at Joe, then the shot goes back to the original angle but now the white body bag is unzipped further and more of Joe's arm and chest are visible. The amount the white body bag is open changes between camera shots.
Factual errors
